Due to the controversy surrounding JTBC's new drama "Snowdrop", the DC Gallery (fan union) for the drama has called for its cancellation. They also explained in detail what made the drama broadcast of Jisoo BLACKPINK (Black Pink) and Jung Hae In to be canceled through six demands.
In addition to a lengthy protest letter, DC Gallery has announced that it is raising funds for protest trucks to protest the "Snowdrop" broadcast. The letter shows all the current issues that many have raised with the drama, and accuses JTBC of not providing a clear statement explaining this error.
"Snowdrop" is facing controversy due to historical distortions, with the particularly sensitive issue of the Democratic Movement and the June Struggle in preparation. In the movement, many student protesters were killed and tortured when accused of spying for North Korea. The massacre is one that still inflicts pain on many South Koreans.

We strongly request that the JTBC drama, 'Snowdrop', be canceled. We have been waiting for the broadcasting station to give a clear explanation, but the official statement released on March 26, 2021 only gives unclear reasons. We ask for detailed feedback and direct explanation regarding the part. -sections that claim to be historical digressions.
"First, the painful part of history, where many student activists were accused of being spies and unjustly tortured to death. We asked for an explanation of the part where the male lead was a spy and he was misunderstood as a protester."
"Second, we asked for an explanation of the setting of the male lead as a spy and there is a narrative that can give the spy romance."
"Third, there is a part of history where the National Security Agency (NSA) humiliates student activists. We would expect an explanation of the character recognition of the NSA team leader as an honest and passionate 'character' who follows the rules and if it romanticizes the NSA and if he is involved. in any romance. "
"Fourthly, the male lead's name 'Lim XX' and the female lead's name, 'Youngcho' is not a common name and is one of the real figures in the movement. This is detrimental to figures because of the association. We expect an explanation of this."
"Fifth, this drama uses the setting of the Hosu Female University and this is a school that really plays an important role in the student movement. There are some elements of slander to the movement because in the drama there is a plot where the female lead who is a student at the university hides. the male lead in the dorm. We ask for an explanation for this. "
"Finally, we asked for an explanation that contained professional opinions from experts in the democracy movement, and not just those of the internal production team."
"We strongly request that this drama be canceled and the producers of JTBC's 'Snowdrop' make a clear statement because the meaning and history of the democratic movement is something that cannot be distorted in any way."
To date, an online boycott of the production and broadcast of "Snowdrop" is in progress. JTBC on the other hand has released a statement that the drama is in no way intended to distort South Korean history. (wk / chus)
